shower caddy for a vaulted ceiling?
Comments (5)We got ours at Target & Bed, Bath & Beyond. They attach to the wall with really strong suction cups. The one we have in the master also has a shaving mirror integrated into it (Target). The one for the kids' bath is a two tier chrome caddy with oval shaped "baskets" (BB&B). I took a look at the websites for both and saw some similar, but not exact. Those stores usually carry a wider selection of these type items in the store vs. online though. Good luck!...See MoreGlass Shower Walls in Vaulted Ceiling Bathroom with Glass On Top?
Comments (9)Having a glass ceiling as opposed to the fully enclosed shower shown (an insulated ceiling) is going to pose some challenges: the surface of the glass is going to act as a condenser and rain cold water. Maybe not a lot, and not noticeable with the shower running but if you stay inside to dry off you are going to get dripped with cool water. The other aspect is going to be maintenance of both the interior surface (which will dry with lots of waterspots unless you squeegee cold water down on yourself) and the outer surface which is going to be a dust collector that you are have to get on a ladder and reach over to clean. Its an interesting idea, but for me personally, the potential negatives would outweigh the potential pluses....See MoreVaulted ceiling in bathroom--hate or love?
Comments (11)Besides adding the new master bath, we're also gutting the main part of the house (kitchen, family room, living room, and dining room.) The walls around the kitchen won't be put back, and the wall between the the family room and living room will be moved a few feet and contain a double-sided gas fireplace. So....no vaulted ceilings anywhere else in the house after the remodel. I was hoping to have a chandelier over the tub. That might help feel like the ceiling height is brought down some. I have a feeling that the GC has already ordered the scissor trusses for the vault, so it might be too late to change. I couldn't reach him late today. On the other hand, maybe it will make the bathroom feel special if it's the only vaulted room in the house! Maybe??...See MoreBathroom: Vaulted or Cathedral Ceiling?
Comments (8)pinktoes -- That may be overkill. We have Nu-Heat in the floor of our master bath, and two floor registers from the gas-fired forced air furnace. This is a north-facing room with a roughly 66-inch X 80" archtop window (north) and two additional windows (west). The floor area is 11 X 14 and the ceiling angles from 9 feet to a flat that is 12 feet high. We're in the far north suburbs of Chicago -- haven't seen the ground since the beginning of December with ice and snow. My Ultra-Bain air tub has a heater and our shower is glassed, but open a couple of feet at the top (not totally enclosed like a steam shower). A friend in AZ had a walk-in (no door) shower that was so 'breezy' she showered in the guest bath. We'd be in real trouble in our master bath without the floor heat because the HVAC guy was a dope. We'd planned for the Nu-Heat there, but ended up adding a small boiler and tubing under the other north-facing rooms because the ducted supply was inadequate. I really think the Nu-Heat is doing almost all the work in our bathroom. Could you just wire for that space heater and add it only if needed? Will the bathroom floor heat be on its own thermostat? While we're talking warm bathrooms, let's not forget to put DOORS on our bathrooms, folks! (And heat vents in the toilet rooms.)...See MoreMark Bischak, Architect
